Chapter 1 The First Guest

"The fourth Destruction Epoch will arrive in twenty-five days!"

Li Tianran stood on the corpse of a Beast King. He looked at the blood-red notification in the system and calmly planted the blood-red Howling Island flag on the side of a building that had not yet collapsed.

This was the seventh day since he led the Pathfinder Legion out of Howling Island. The blood-red flag had already flown over thirty-six cities. At this time, each member of the Pathfinder Legion had nearly a hundred Beast King kills to their name, and the number of mutated beasts was even more countless.

"It should be about time..." Li Tianran murmured to himself.

In seven days, he hadn't bothered to hide his tracks. All along the way, the blood-red flags planted in those ruined cities formed a considerable landscape on the satellite map. He believed that the human nations of the world had already noticed him, and before long, the first country would appear to try and make contact with him.

"Boss, news from home: the Tyrannosaurus-type individual combat armor is being mass-produced, and the survivors are also..." Lu Chi came to Li Tianran and reported softly.

Actually, there was no need for Lu Chi to report. Li Tianran only needed to close his eyes to observe everything happening inside Howling Island through the system. Although he was thousands of miles away, he still had the most direct control over Howling Island.

"Once everything is ready at home, I'll have Lu Xiao bring out the converted Pathfinders to join us!" Lu Chi said.

Li Tianran nodded.

At this time, the smell of meat wafted from the ruined city. The Pathfinder Legion was preparing lunch, directly using local materials, and using the flesh of the Beast Kings as ingredients for roasting and cooking. Of course, in addition to the staple food, there were also vegetable salads and fruits, and even various kinds of alcohol if they liked.

Alcohol had no anesthetic effect on the brains of evolutionaries. Even the strongest alcohol was just a beverage with a special taste.

Serving in Li Tianran's Pathfinder Legion, the biggest benefit was... the food was good!

The simple lunch of each Pathfinder, in the current situation, was already on par with the standards of a national president.

Li Tianran had specially left ten system slots empty, dedicated to carrying these foods and seasonings.

Although it seemed like a waste of resources, in reality, continuous battles could easily cause people to be mentally tense for a long time, and a delicious lunch could allow people to relax their body and mind.

"Is this Beast King a lobster? This meat smells pretty good..."

"Pass me the vinegar, I want to eat sashimi!"

"What do you know? Sashimi has to be dipped in mustard oil..."

The Pathfinders sat together in groups of ten, sharing their lunch, talking and laughing with each other. This was also one of their few moments of relaxation.

A large number of patrol-class radar guards were scattered throughout the city, providing Li Tianran with omnipresent vision, allowing him to sense all the dangers hidden in the shadows in advance.

Li Tianran peeled open the shell of a giant crab, and before he could divide it, he suddenly seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the distant sky.

Lu Chi immediately noticed Li Tianran's reaction, drew his steel saber, and said with a gloomy expression, "Enemies?"

"Don't be nervous." Li Tianran patted him on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, "After waiting so long, the first guest has finally arrived!"

In less than five seconds after Li Tianran said this, a black dot suddenly appeared on the originally gray horizon, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, until the twenty-seventh!

These black dots slowly grew larger in everyone's vision, and a very oppressive, tinnitus-inducing "buzzing" sound came from the sky. It was the roaring sound of the massive armed helicopter propeller engines!

Those were twenty-seven helicopters with cyan lion flags, rapidly approaching the location of the Pathfinder Legion.

The Pathfinder Legion immediately entered combat readiness, but Li Tianran's attitude was very relaxed.

He waved his hand, signaling those Pathfinders wearing Tyrannosaurus-type individual combat armor to put on their bulky military overcoats, and then stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky.

The twenty-seven helicopters slowly parked 1000 meters away from the Pathfinder Legion, then the cabin doors opened, and several men in thick military uniforms jumped out. As soon as they got off the plane, they used loudspeakers to shout to the Pathfinder Legion in standard Yanhuang language: "We are a team from Moldogo, we have no malicious intent, and we are not carrying any weapons!"

The men waved their hands, and then continued to shout to everyone in Yanhuang language: "We want to talk to you, can you let us come over?"

Li Tianran said softly, "Let them come over."

Lu Chi took a deep breath and shouted, "Your request is granted!"

The men were stunned for a moment, and then strode towards Li Tianran.

"Hello, I am Logan, the Minister of Defense of Moldogo, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Soon, a tall, dark-skinned man reached out to Li Tianran with a gentle smile on his face, "We have been looking for you!"

"..." Li Tianran shook hands with the other party.

"We saw those war flags fluttering in the ruined cities. To be honest, we were very shocked! In the current situation where the myth of the world's evolutionary forces has completely collapsed, you and your team are almost creating miracles!" Logan took out photos and placed them in front of Li Tianran, his expression very excited, "We have always believed that human evolutionaries cannot defeat the beast tide, but the appearance of your team has given us confidence again..."

Li Tianran looked at Logan. He didn't take these flattering words to heart. No matter how beautifully the other party blew it, he remained calm.

He knew this was just an opening, and what the other party said next was the key.

"Just say what you want to say." Li Tianran interrupted the other party's endless rainbow farts. "We're in a hurry."

Moldogo was not considered a strong country, only a medium-sized country, but to be able to exist until today in the chaotic world situation, it also had strong economic and military power as a backing. As the Minister of Defense, Logan was the second most important figure in Moldogo. At this time, being interrupted by Li Tianran, there was nothing unpleasant on his face, but he said very sincerely: "We would like to invite you to join our country!"

"We want to know the secret of why your team is so powerful!"

"In return, we will provide your team with comprehensive military assistance and military protection!"
